Recurrent selection on the Winters sex-ratio genes in Drosophila simulans.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2010

Kingan Sarah B, Garrigan Daniel, Hartl Daniel L

Abstract excerpt

Selfish genes, such as meiotic drive elements, propagate themselves through a population without increasing the fitness of host organisms. X-linked (or Y-linked) meiotic drive elements reduce the transmission of the Y (X) chromosome and skew progeny and population sex ratios, leading to intense conflict among genomic compartments. Drosophila simulans is unusual in having a least three distinct systems of X...
